General information
- Short Summary
- Horizon Europe project leader seeks partners to complete a consortium aiming at collaborative R&D for next generation diamagnetic, ferromagnetic and paramagnetic materials. The project’s main objective is to create new materials with magnetic characteristics (diamagnetic, ferromagnetic and paramagnetic) for a Magnetic Induction-based new industrial process. These materials must also allow inserting sensors and must acquire properties derived from the application of Morphing technologies.
- Full Description
-
The company leading the project is internationally operating capital goods company specializing in the Pulp and Paper sector. its latest R&D initiative aims to pioneer a revolutionary technology for a New Paper Production Industrial Process, with a particular focus on developing a cutting-edge Drying Process. This innovation seeks to fully electrify the drying stage, achieving a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of paper machines and substantially enhancing the sustainability of the overall industrial process. The project main goals are:
1. Technological Advancement: To integrate advanced materials and embedded technologies for improved performance and monitoring.
2. Cost Efficiency: To design a process with lower production costs and reduced capital investment requirements, ensuring economic feasibility.
3. Sustainability: To establish a fully sustainable industrial process that dramatically reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Finally, as Innovative Approach of the project it will incorporate the use of novel "smart" materials with specific characteristics activated within a magnetic environment. These materials will serve as passive components in the mechanical configuration of the process and must be:
• Technologically Advanced: Developed to adapt their technical properties for seamless integration into the process.
• Economically Viable: Reasonably priced to prevent unnecessary increases in installation costs.
• Sensor-Enabled: Capable of embedding sensors within their structure to provide real-time data on key process parameters without requiring additional measurement devices.
The culmination of this project will deliver a transformative industrial process that is not only environmentally responsible but also cost-effective and technologically superior. By leveraging smart materials and innovative design, this project aims to set a new benchmark for sustainable and efficient paper production processes globally. - Advantages and Innovations
